The road to success of beautiful CEO Qiang Yunqi

It is said that beautiful women are not easy to get close to, and women in the fashion field are arrogant, especially among "beautiful CEOs" and "highly educated" women. What will it be like to be a woman under the halo? Before meeting Qiang Yunqi in person, I had heard about it.
